are you CPU SSE capable? if so, probably this app checks capabilities 
through /proc

add this to /etc/fstab
linprocfs               /compat/linux/proc  linprocfs       rw      0       0

and mount /compat/linux/proc

exactly those what gets installed :)
it contains sources of whole FreeBSD system (excluding ports).
